The full article is here: http://edition.cnn.com/2009/TECH/12/16/super.earth.discovery/index.html
apparently the super earth is 2.4 times larger than our own and orbits a smaller sun, the planet was discovered using a 16inch telescope on the ground not the Hubble monolith. so, this discovery could have been made years ago, but wasn't…
my question is this, are we going to hear of more and more earth like planets that are closer and closer? is the idea that we are alone in the universe simply going to fade away and is this the tiniest step in the direction of disclosure?
